springs...

[jolly_97]

ok heres my dilemma. im lowering my car because ive come across some cheap new springs and shockies.

my car is a live axle sedan and ive been given a set of rear FE2 springs for nothing. i also came across a set of 4 super low king springs for a WAGON really cheap and i was wondering if they will fit in my car? (they came out of a live axle VP wagon so theres no dramas with that) i can understand that the rears will sit higher because of a higher load rating as they were designed for a wagon but the fronts should sit the same height as sedan springs im guessing?

im trying to work out wether to put the kings or FE2 in the rear...

a comparison of how high each would sit would come in handy but i dont have the time to put 2 sets of springs in with school and work flat stick at the moment...

so my question is, should i put the FE2 or wagon super low's in the back...?

any help would be appreciated because i want to get these in ASAP, my shockies and springs are all original atm and it feels like im driving a bouncy castle

cheers

i would go all kings, i like the higher rear look...

[jolly_97]

yeah true... im a fan of the arches level or just covering the tyre... which do you think would sit lower??

[mischa]

umm, the kings?, except in the back i spose.

[jolly_97]

yeah i meant in the back, because if u think about it, i have 2 sets of rears and my kings are going in the front either way...

[jolly_97]

bump. so i take it they will fit in the rear aswell.... poll shows i should put superlows all round?

[mischa]

im not saying they will fit, i got no idea. but superlows all round would be better if they fit.

[jolly_97]

yeah true... very true... i think they will... the suspension setup is the same from what i know. even my mechanic rekons they will be the same, aslong as they are both live axle...

[jolly_97]

bump. just found out the car that these springs REALLY came off of was a VR LIVE AXLE UTE. these should fit then???

can some1 get back to me ASAP so i can go buy these springs

cheers

[jolly_97]

the springs are off a live axle VR ute. should fit in my car yeh yeh??

thanks guys

[mischa]

come on someone must know?

[jolly_97]

yeah surely some1 knows, its just i dont think anyone is looking at this thread... dammit

[LowVp]

yes they will fit, even sedan springs will fit in the wagons and utes, my ute has sedan super lows all round and the ass didn't sit much different compared to ute springs

[jolly_97]

oh ok thanks soo much mate, the seller was gettin a bit anxious as to wether id actually front up the cash coz hes holding them for me... cheers heaps! ok so it will be pretty much the same as sedan springs, thats even better to know

now i just gotta get my mate (who happens to be a mechanic :-D) to get me some monroe gt shortened gas shocks so she handles bumps better!

cheers mate
